This rare and intricate French perfume bears precious cargo in its bassinet-form design. Crafted of lace-like doré bronze with silk and velvet accents, the swinging cradle holds three cut crystal perfume bottles, each with a gilt bronze cap and crystal stoppers. Since ancient times, perfume has always been a luxury reserved for the affluent. Made of the most precious and hard to find oils and frangrances, these scented concoctions have been kept in special containers, also crafted of the finest materials, such as crystal or porcelain, and a wide variety of designs. This delicate cradle is truly among the most intriguing.
